Chapter 308: Downward

In a flash, Wu Pifu crossed hundreds of armed warriors. These puppet warriors made of metal or rock all crumbled. Wu Pifu stepped on the ground and charged forward without stopping, rushing into the battle formation ahead.

Middle layer of the tomb area, ancient Greek-style battlefield tomb.

The entire battlefield was not large. Compared to other tombs, everything here was clear at a glance, but the number of monsters was greater than in other tombs. It was a type of metal and rock puppet that imitated ancient Greek warriors. The rock ones were ordinary soldiers, while the metal ones were small leaders and officers. In the very center of the battle formation was a hundred-meter-tall metal giant god.

Wu Pifu had cleared three tomb scenes in a row and roughly understood the rules of this tomb scene.

Although the strength of the tomb was judged according to the three levels of upper, middle, and lower, more importantly, it was the present-world information precipitated by the tomb. The older it was, the stronger it was, which was one standard. Another standard was that the external mystery was stronger, and much stronger.

For example, the middle-layer tomb he was currently in contact with was far less intense than the demon clan tomb he entered for the first time, even though that demon clan tomb came from the upper layer.

The demon clan was one of the external mysteries, and it was the strongest among the external mysteries, so the tomb information left behind was the strongest among all tombs. Of course, the rewards were also the best.

The entire Demon Castle followed a peculiar, game-like attribute. Killing monsters could obtain things like "experience points," which could improve one's extraordinary or physical body—in short, becoming stronger. One could even farm monsters here to obtain weapons, armor, or various strange items.

Wu Pifu had killed the Demon Castle Lord. He could clearly feel that he had become stronger. The progress of various cultivation techniques and physical strength had all improved. Even by a conservative estimate, he had become at least ten percent stronger, which was already a very astonishing number.

At the same time, he had obtained an item from both the Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage. These two items were both fantasy objects.

The judgment data for that skull was as follows.

"Whisper."

"When a person is about to die, their words are kind. There is no existence in the world that knows more truth than the dead."

"Can be charged once for every ten thousand lives killed, and can store up to one hundred charges."

"Can use one charge to resolve riddles, resolve fragments of words, or use one hundred charges to obtain the detailed content of a prophecy."

This skull was not a fantasy object for combat purposes, but its efficacy was very powerful, and it was very, very suitable for Wu Pifu, because this kind of resolving riddles or resolving fragments of words could even resolve the kind of correct nonsense from the Magic Conch!

The only difficulty was that one had to kill ten thousand lives to charge it once, which meant using this Whisper once. And Wu Pifu didn't know what the specific ability was for the function of using one hundred charges to obtain the "detailed content of a prophecy" after killing one million lives.

However, even if it was just resolving the correct nonsense of the Magic Conch, this meant that Wu Pifu could obtain some important clues once a day, which was already very powerful. Even if it required killing ten thousand lives... for the Dream World, what was killing?

This was a fantasy object auxiliary to Dream World strategy that was very useful for Wu Pifu.

That ring was also a fantasy object, and its individual efficacy was even more magical and powerful.

"Mother."

"Darkness is the original silence, darkness is the mother of everything, darkness gave birth to everything, and darkness will also recycle everything... if that pollution did not exist."

"Find a place of darkness, wear this ring and place yourself in the darkness. Its efficacy is determined by the degree of darkness. If you are in absolute lightless darkness, its efficacy will reach its limit."

"When wearing this ring in the darkness, it can restore all pollution, distortion, damage, parasitism, and aberration at the physical, mental, and even spiritual levels... but be careful, the darkness has also been eroded by the initial pollution. Once you wear this ring in the darkness for more than ten minutes, this 'restoration' will begin to tend toward perfection, a special 'perfection'."

Without a doubt, this was a very powerful logistics and healing fantasy object, but its description made Wu Pifu somewhat worried, especially since even the Main Brain specifically marked the word "perfection." Clearly, that was definitely not a good thing.

But regardless, the acquisition of the two fantasy objects was definitely an unexpected joy. The Whisper skull could solve the waste of the Magic Conch's correct nonsense—one had to know that the Magic Conch was a powerful fantasy object that could be used once every twenty-four hours. As for the Mother ring, this was also what Wu Pifu urgently needed.

Even with the Sleepless Spiritual Light, Wu Pifu actually felt subtle damage to himself at the mental and spiritual levels.

Physical damage was easy to talk about. His martial arts had reached the Gang Jin level. Although it was still far from the repair at the level of the Indestructible Divine cells or even genes, combined with carbon-based nano-units, it was enough to repair the many hidden injuries in his physical body. And the Sleepless Spiritual Light was particularly effective for the corrosion and distortion of the physical body.

However, the various damages and hidden injuries at the mental and spiritual levels were difficult to handle, especially since he often had to use mental negative backlash to fight. Every time he used it, it meant that the damage and hidden injuries at his mental and spiritual levels were accumulating. In the long run, he could actually feel that the injuries to his spirit and soul had begun to affect his combat and cultivation speed, especially for martial arts and the Human Immortal Martial Dao.

In short, this time, not to mention anything else, just these two fantasy objects were worth the ticket for him. If it weren't for Daphne's current situation, it would simply be perfect...

Wu Pifu slashed horizontally, cutting down hundreds of puppets in front. The spreading ripples also possessed the five-step effect of the Pifu title. And when he enlarged the Spirit-Breaking Blade to ten meters in size, the shockwave ripples could spread to a range of thirty meters, and this range actually belonged to within five steps, which was enough to allow him to transform into a range-damage weapon, destroying numerous puppets with one strike.

Wu Pifu's goal was the hundred-meter-tall metal giant god. This was the leader of this tomb area. Once it was broken, this tomb area would disappear. Wu Pifu could obtain things like "experience points," and then he could go to the next tomb area, or penetrate upward by his own thoughts.

But if Wu Pifu could cause damage far exceeding the upper limit of the tomb leader's endurance, then he could skip levels on the road up or down the tomb area, and could rush out of several tomb areas at once.

In fact, this was also the method for the Demon Castle Lord, that black dragon, to go to the Demon Realm. He directly used the black light spray three times. This kind of range attack with immense power allowed him to go to the Demon Realm after three times. Wu Pifu naturally also hoped to go to the Demon Realm as quickly as possible.

"... But it's still too weak."

Wu Pifu arrived under this hundred-meter-tall metal giant god, looked up, estimated in his heart, and sighed helplessly.

!

The metal giant did not tolerate him. When he arrived underneath, the giant god surged with vast thunder. Then, this metal giant gathered boundless thunder onto its fist and smashed it straight at Wu Pifu.

This strike was powerful, and even from a distance, one could feel its terrifying power. It truly pressed down from the air like the power of heaven and earth. But Wu Pifu just swung his blade upward. At the moment of contact with the giant god's fist, Wu Pifu's great blade instantly shattered the thunder, cut through the metal, and sliced through the long sky. The blade wind alone cut through everything within a thirty-meter range around it, and this immense force traveled all the way up along the metal giant's body. With just one strike, the entire metal giant god was shattered, and the immense force even penetrated upward, rolling the shattered metal pieces of the giant god into a tornado.

"... Ha, maybe if I continue to become stronger, I will really have the great power not inferior to the protagonists in the novels I've read, for example, Li Yan, Long Juan Tian, or Hong Huang..."

Wu Pifu left this tomb area. He had a few seconds to confirm whether to go up or down, and at the same time, he could limitedly choose the tomb area he wanted to enter. According to the causal connection, or randomly. And among the causal connections Wu Pifu perceived, there was only one, which was the karma of the demon clan.

Before, Wu Pifu had always avoided entering the demon clan's tomb because it was too terrifying. Even with his current strength, he didn't dare to say he could win against the demon clan remains inside one hundred percent, but now he decided to try it.

He didn't have the terrifying explosive power of the black dragon's black light spray, but he had the passive effect of the Kratos title. As long as he encountered a super-strong opponent, he could erupt with a crushing force that exceeded their strength when grappling with them. As long as the opponent was strong enough, the crushing force he could erupt with would also be strong enough, even exceeding the black dragon's black light spray... The premise was that the opponent was strong enough.

Fortunately, this was the tomb area. All the terrifying leaders manifested inside did not possess immortal characteristics and almost never healed or recovered. So as long as the power he erupted with was strong enough, at least he didn't have to worry about these leaders surviving a strike, recovering quickly, and then killing him within thirty seconds.

"My time is running out, Jiu Jiu, Daphne..."

Wu Pifu made up his mind and focused his attention on that demon clan karma.

At the same time, in the Demon Castle, starting from the outermost periphery, the giant Demon Castle had already begun to collapse. All the monsters in the entire Demon Castle, from the weakest to the strongest, were collapsing and disappearing in turn. And the commander-level monsters of the Demon Castle followed their instincts and went to the reverse Demon Castle. Except for a few timid and fearful outsiders, the entire Demon Castle was silent, having reached the end of its era.

And at the top of the Demon Castle's sky, behind that mirror surface, there was a chaotic space that was boundless. In the center of this chaotic space stood the Demon Castle, the Demon Castle on the final battlefield. Only, this Demon Castle was no longer a closed place, but a true castle, a castle resisting the arrival of the end.

Tens of thousands of extraordinary beings, dragons, extraordinary lives, and dozens of gods flickering with brilliance—they were the resistance force of this era. Whether on the castle walls or at the peak of the castle, they looked at the increasingly obvious image of the giant in the chaos in the distance, as well as the endless monsters surging from the chaos. Everyone's face was solemn.

That End Giant was about to arrive on the battlefield!
